Reply to comment by brookesiamicra in LPT: Take your adopted animals from shelters straight to a vet as soon as possible. by bcurtiswx

Our community does the free first visit and it's wonderful! I've had access to this program while adopting pets over the past 20 years and always appreciated it, but sort of took it for granted that other places don't have it. We are very lucky! Plus our regular vet accepts the free first visit so it's the beginning of a long term relationship.

YES!!! I love that for you all! I love those programs too because like you said - it's the beginning of a long-term relationship when you establish care with your primary care veterinarian as part of the free first visit!
